A recent article from Fox News 13 out of Tampa, Florida, tells a surprisingly frank story about the impressive healing power of Aloe Vera. Check out a quick excerpt from the article:

Her symptoms were similar to a urinary tract infection. The pain was so bad, it woke her from her sleep.

Over the course of that year, she saw two primary care doctors, and five specialists, including two urologists, two neurologists and a gynecologist. They prescribed hormonal creams, anti-viral, anti-seizure, and rheumatoid arthritis drugs. Nothing stopped her pain.

Doris was giving up hope. “I was to the point that I didn’t’ know if I could ever feel normal again.”

Then her primary care doctor sent her to one more urologist. Instead of writing a prescription, he recommended an online Aloe Vera supplement.

Afterwards, the woman in the story finally experienced some peace—her symptoms alleviated. Insurance didn’t cover her supplement, so she had to pay $68 per month for it, but that didn’t bother her. “I don’t care if it’s $600 a month, I will use it,” she insisted. “There’s no way I’m stopping taking it. It’s working.”

It sounds surprising in a world filled with prescription medication and excessive insurance costs—but it’s the truth. And the woman in this story isn’t alone either.

“For patients who we treat for bladder pain and bladder disorders, I’ll tell you it’s usually our first-line agent and its response rate is well over 60 to 70 percent,” explained Dr. Raviendar Bukkapatnam, chief of Urology at Tampa’s General Hospital.

It’s an impressive statement that hospital physicians should trust an all-natural supplement based on Aloe Vera as their first line of defense against bladder maladies. And it works—even though they’re not yet sure exactly why …

“It has various cancer-fighting properties,” Dr. Bukkapatnam explained. “It has various hypoglycemic properties so it can help with diabetes. It has significant anti-inflammatory properties.”

But all that matters to his patients is that it works.

A Delightful new Dessert for Indian Diabetics:

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Indian scientists have devised a way for diabetics to enjoy their favorite dessert once again.

It’s called Pedha, and it’s a sweet, richly-colored treat flavored with khoa (a sweet kind of concentrated milk) and topped with pistachio seeds. And at India’s College of Dairy Science & Food Technology, scientists have developed a way to make the treat with Aloe Vera juice—which can help balance out the sugary content of the treat by helping the body produce a more effective amount of insulin.

“Diabetics need not fear for rise in their sugar level in the blood if they savour the aloe vera integrated ‘peda’ prepared in a traditional way of adding sugar,” explained Professor S. Kartikeyan.

It’s a small thing … just a dessert. A nice little treat that diabetics couldn’t have enjoyed before. But like Dr. Bukkapatnam’s story above, this new formulation lends even more credibility to Aloe’s impressive health benefits.

But by far, the week’s most eye-catching Aloe story involves a spill of epic proportions …

The Great Aloe Spill of 2015:

Coming back to Florida to close out our journey today, we arrive in West Melbourne, where a semi truck carrying a 2,000 lb load of Aloe gel suffered a puncture … spilling hundreds of gallons all over town.

Of course, the gel was entirely non-toxic so no one was too alarmed. Eventually, a sand truck was called in to help clean up the mess.

No, you’re not reading the Onion. Yes, there was a massive Aloe Vera spill.

And it brings a refreshing smile to our face to hear that no one was hurt.

With so many toxic oil spills, so many chemical plants and so much waste material seeping into our soil and groundwater, it’s nice to be able to enjoy a little bit of Aloe lotion or an Aloe supplement without having to worry about the negative effects it might have on the environment around you.

It just goes to show how easily the humble succulent fits into our modern lives.

Both Pineapple and Aloe Vera have long been known for their rich health benefits—with each drawing more and more attention lately as new benefits keep being discovered.
So why not combine the two?
According to a recent bioenergetics medicine study, the combination of Aloe and Pineapple on a regular basis can help to synergize the effects of both—providing a great all-natural solution for:

Soothing inflammation and helping to reduce different kinds of pain …

Improve Circulation and prevent Thrombosis …

Reducing Cellulite little by little, by helping to rapidly detoxify the body and promote more effective digestion that burns off old fat reserves …

Curing Troublesome Constipation and other common digestive ailments …

Strengthening Nails and Hair by providing a cornucopia of necessary vitamins and minerals …

Lower cholesterol and even uric acid levels …

Cleanse the Kidneys and in turn, the blood …

And the two can provide all of these benefits with just a little daily dose here and there.

So What’s the Catch?That’s a fair question.
The catch here is that you’re not looking at a miracle drug. You can’t just mix up an Aloe and Pineapple smoothie and wake up ten pounds lighter.
What you can expect from the Pineapple & Aloe diet—combined with regular exercise and healthy meals—is better results faster.
So many people quit their diets or their workout routine because they’re not seeing the results they want to see when they want to see them. By synergizing so well with each other, by helping to detoxify your body, your blood and your intestines so efficiently, the combination of Aloe and Pineapple help to deliver those results faster.
They’ll help nourish your body if you’re building new muscle, or help it burn fat more rapidly if you’re on a strict cardio regimen. By helping you see the results you’re working so hard for, the Aloe & Pineapple diet might just be the edge you need to succeed.

You have my Attention. What do I need to do? Do I eat pineapple all day?

You’re free to indulge on a little pineapple if you like, but by no means is it necessary. Instead, the diet can be as simple as drinking one glass of Pineapple Juice shortly before bed, another when you wake up, and then taking your daily dose of AloeElite as recommended.
Sure; other versions of this diet will have you concocting “Aloe pulp smoothies” with water and honey. These kinds of things are delicious, to be sure, and it’s great to have a little raw aloe around for its myriad other benefits.
But for the busy professional; for the working mom or hard-training Triathlete, AloeElite’s highly-concentrated extract (paired with a proven, high-quality Pineapple Juice) is the perfect foundation for; this diet/lifestyle-enhancing regimen.
Just pop one AloeElite pill a day, then grab a Pineapple Juice on your way to work or the gym. Make sure to have one more glass before bedtime, and that’s it. No eating raw onions, no weird dietary constraints like with Atkins, just a regular dose of all-natural goodness for your body.
Of course—it gets even better than that …

The hot new drink that everyone’s craving in 2016? It’s Aloe Water, believe it or not!

With a number of alternatives already on the market (and more surely on the way), aloe water is rapidly becoming a supermarket staple that foodies and health nuts both crave.

And that shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all; there’s a wide array of health benefits to consuming raw aloe—from improved nutrition and digestive health to glowing, radiant skin. But as we all know; processed foods and supermarket solutions often come with a whole host of unnecessary additives and fillers.

So what’s really in the bottle?

Many brands are adding sweeteners to offset the natural bitterness of the aloe juice. Luckily, most of them are using natural sweeteners like cane sugar, honey or stevia, but there’s still a whole lot of that sugar in each bottle.

To be precise; just one cup of Jayone Aloe Drink contains 110 calories, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 26 grams of sugar and 25 milligrams of sodium. That’s almost an ounce of sugar in an eight-ounce serving.

There’s got to be a better way, right?

How about making your own fresh, homemade aloe juice in a matter of minutes?

It’s easier than you might think …

Recipe #1: “Virgin” Aloe Juice

This method is the simplest and most effective way to get aloe’s medical benefits—but it’s also something of an “acquired” taste due to the natural bitterness of aloe gel.

You’ll need:
Aloe leaves
Water
Knife
Blender (or Stovetop)

The first step is rendering the aloe, and there are two ways to do this. The first (and old-fashioned way) is to cut aloe leaves into one-inch segments, then add them to a pot of boiling water. Over a few minutes, the gel will render out and you can remove the leaves—taking the pot off the heat and allowing it to cool for about an hour.

If that sounds like too much work or time, you could always use a spoon or a knife to cut/scoop the gel out of each leaf, then add the gel to your blender with some water (obviously, boiling the aloe might change the flavor)

Pour the resulting pure aloe juice over some ice and enjoy!

But what about adding a bit more flavor?

Recipe #2: The “Spa Special”

We all love the cucumber water you can find at your favorite spa/salon, and adding a little bit of aloe to that recipe can go a long way …

You’ll need:
1 Cucumber
1 Apple
1 Lemon
2 Tbsp aloe vera pulp

Add the cucumber, apple and lemon juice to your blender with a few ounces of water, then blend until it has a smooth consistency.

Add the aloe vera pulp to the mixture and blend for 15-30 seconds

Serve garnished with cucumber slices or lemon wedges

And for something a little more exotic you could always try one of our favorites …

Recipe #3: Exotic Aloe Delight

This recipe adds a touch of exotic flavor with the addition of coconut milk; which also helps improve the anti-bacterial qualities of the aloe!

Add the pineapple, carrot and green apple to your blender with a few ounces of water, and blend vigorously.

Once the juice has a smooth consistency, start adding the aloe vera and coconut milk (to taste)

Serve chilled, with a garnish of your choice. Don’t forget to share with friends!

Is there anything Aloe can’t do?

Homemade is almost always better, and this is especially true when it comes to aloe juice/water.

Sure; it can’t hurt to enjoy a little “over the counter” aloe water from time to time, but in order to enjoy the full spectrum of this succulent’s benefits, it’s best to prepare your juice fresh.

Remember that like so many natural remedies, it can take some time for aloe’s benefits to really materialize. But it’s always well worth the effort. And don’t forget that since you’re dealing with more potent, homemade aloe juice (instead of aloe “water”) you’ll need to be careful not to ingest too much aloe.

In larger quantities, it can be a potent laxative or even reduce the potassium levels in your body—so sip in moderation.

If you’d rather take the guesswork—and the rest of the work—out of the whole process, just try AloeElite’s concentrated aloe supplements. Each capsule is packed with the Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides that provide so many of aloe’s wonderful benefits, and for a limited time only you can save up to 33% on your next purchase!
